REGULAR MEETING December 12, 2016
<br />Councilmember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to accept Substitute Bill No. 75 -16. Councilmember
<br />Tim Scott seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes.
<br />Councilmember Karen White, Chair of the Personnel and Finance Committee, reported that they
<br />met and send this bill forward with a favorable recommendation.
<br />John Murphy, City Controller with offices on the 12th Floor of the County -City Building, stated
<br />that the City also does budget transfers on a quarterly basis, so these were the final set of
<br />transfers for the year. Mr. Murphy stated, Transfers don't represent the appropriations, rather
<br />they represent reclassifications of a budget from an '81 department in the same fund to another
<br />department in the same fund, or from an account category like supplies to services within the
<br />same fund. There are four (4) pages of those. We are trying to take a lot of pride in making sure
<br />all of our accounts are balanced at the end of the year.
<br />No one from the public wished to speak in favor of or opposition to the bill.
<br />Councilmember Oliver Davis made a motion that Bill No. 75 -16 be sent to the full Council with
<br />a favorable recommendation. Councilmember Karen White seconded the motion which carried
<br />by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes.

<br />this afternoon. Addressing Councilmember Davis, he stated, The camera appropriation that is
<br />included— that's under the Cops More Grant. Ken Glowacki from the Police Department is here
<br />to answer any questions that you may have. Continuing on with his presentation, Mr. Murphy
<br />stated, So, going to the list —one is related to the COIT for additional funds for flood repairs

<br />the final date. Mr. Glowacki stated, It is going to be a lengthy process, but as the equipment
<br />comes in, and we can rotate cars off the street and get them replaced— again, I'm not sure
<br />exactly, because it will be throughout most of next year that this process will be taking place.
<br />Councilmember Davis asked, You said that there are some new ones coming in?
